Bihar: Minor girl abducted on bike crushed by truck during escape bid

Patna: A teenage girl who is believed to have been abducted by two men on a bike died after she flung herself off the bike trying to escape. The victim was crushed to death by a container truck that was just behind them, reported the Hindustan Times.

The incident took place in Dehri-on-Sone, an industrial township in western Bihar’s Rohtas district. The victim is yet to be identified. According to witnesses, the young victim was seen crying and struggling to get away from the abductors. When the bike was near a coal depot where some people were present, the girl flung herself on the road and attempted to escape. However, she landed in front of a container truck that was behind the motorcycle and was crushed to death instead, as reported by the Hindustan Times.

The abductors escaped unharmed on their bike though the truck driver was caught and thrashed by onlookers on the highway. The residents also blocked national highway 19 and demanded strict action against those guilty, as reported by the Hindustan Times.

The container was on its way to Haldia in West Bengal. According to Dehri station house officer Rajiv Kumar, the girl was carrying a purse but there were no identification documents inside. Efforts are on to identify both the victim and the two men, as reported by the Hindustan Times.

In a similarly shocking incident earlier this week, an 18-year-old basketball player suffered multiple fractures after she was pushed off the roof on resisting a rape attempt by three youngsters. Police are yet to make any arrests in the case and the three accused are on the run. The victim has undergone jaw surgery and her condition is stable, as reported by the Hindustan Times.

The incident took place on August 12, the victim is undergoing treatment for fractures in both her legs and jaw at the Dayanand Medical College and Hospital (DMCH) in Ludhiana.
